Weight loss is challenging for everyone, even if social media makes you think otherwise.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to losing extra pounds. Moving more and eating less simply isn’t enough for some. Reducing calories can even make your body resistant to losing weight by releasing hunger-triggering hormones.
At Aesthetic Lab in Modesto, California, we offer wellness services that include a holistic approach to weight loss management. Experts Gifty Aidoo, FNP-C, and Nandeesh Veerappa, MD, help you lose weight safely and keep it off for good. We consider your medical history, genetics, and culture to create personalized weight loss plans that are healthy and sustainable.
Even if you’ve had trouble losing weight and keeping it off before, you have a better chance of long-term success with medical specialists to help you manage weight loss.
Getting started
Losing extra pounds gives you more energy and improves your overall well-being, which helps you maintain your new, healthy weight. If you can’t seem to lose weight on your own, you can benefit from professional guidance as warm weather arrives.
Our wellness team begins your weight loss management treatment after giving you a complete health examination. We detect and treat any issues that are preventing you from losing weight. Your treatment plan might include help preparing a balanced diet or setting calorie targets, using expert advice and information.
By understanding you and your needs, the compassionate team at Aesthetic Lab provides support, encouragement, and dietary guidance to help you achieve your weight loss goals before bikini season.
Weight loss and your health
Carrying around extra weight increases stress on your muscles, bones, and joints. Overweight patients are far more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis.
Even losing 5%-10% of your total body weight can significantly impact your health. Weight loss boosts energy, lowers blood sugar, lowers cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure. You also reduce the risk of obesity-related chronic diseases.
Fat cells impact your metabolism, physiological functions, and inflammation. Having greater body fat raises your chances of developing:
- Hypertension
- Type 2 diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Cardiovascular disease
Being overweight also increases your risk of colon and breast cancer.
Starting a weight loss management plan
Our weight loss specialists are dedicated to helping you lose extra pounds and achieve your healthiest life. You’ll work one-on-one with your provider to create a medical weight reduction management plan tailored to your specific circumstances. Your treatment could include:
- A nutrition plan unique to you
- A fitness program suitable for your level of fitness
- Nutritional supplements
- Techniques for reducing stress
- Lifestyle counseling
Your provider will schedule regular follow-up sessions to check your weight and make necessary adjustments to your plan to keep you on track to your summer-ready body.
Additional weight loss tools
Aesthetic Lab uses additional wellness tools to help you stick to your weight-loss plan, such as vitamin injections and intravenous (IV) infusions.
Vitamin injections are ideal if you’re dealing with nutritional deficiencies. Having a proper nutrient balance boosts your metabolism to help you lose weight and keep it off.
IV infusions can give you more energy, increase your metabolism, replenish nutrient deficiencies, and even improve your mood.
